We Support

RNLI

We will be continuing our support for the RNLI. This is a cause we feel we have a link to, living and working so close to the coast, but we are also indebted to them as well. In 2004 our old dog Sam fell of a 60ft cliff onto the beach below, we got cut off by the tide rescuing him and had to be rescued ourselves. You can read the full story by clicking on the 'Sam's RNLI Rescue' button.So this year, we will be trying to raise as much as possible for the RNLI. You can join us by either donating to the RNLI directly via their donation page or by visiting the RNLI shop in the pretty harbour at Minehead.

We will offer for any of our guests with dogs a 'dog sitting' service.If during your stay at Salad Days you would like a few hours out one night, but do not want to leave your dog alone, we will come over and look after your dog for you. All we ask is that guests make a donation to the RNLI of £20 or more.

​​​​​#2Minutebeachclean

We will continue to support and promote the ​​​​​#2Minutebeachclean clean through social media on ​Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. We love the idea of lots of individual people just giving a little bit of their time to clean rubbish from beaches all around the country and collectively making a big difference. Even the beautiful beach at Dunster which is very well cared for still has the odd bit of marine litter and plastic pollution​​

We now also provide a beach clean cotton bag and a litter picker. There is always one in the outside storage box, so if you are down at the beach, why not join us and do a #2minutebeachclean, remember you can use the recycling centre on site and post your photos to Instagram, Twitter or Facebook​​​

​​​​​Birmingham Dogs Home

Some of you may know we have an old dog called Lola who we were lucky enough to find at Birmingham Dogs Home some 15 years ago. Since then the home has re-located to Solihull and they are looking for people to buy bricks for the new facility.

We thought it would be great for Salad Days to purchase one of these bricks but we did not want to just ask our guests for money, so instead we decided to install an old fashioned sweetie machine, fill it up with goodies (if Susan leaves any) and all the 20p’s we raise over the season will go towards the cost of a brick. This way our guests get a treat and we can help out other dogs like Lola, we think that is what’s called ‘a win, win’.
